Hello, my apologies. I shall rewrite the article in my own words, using your information and knowledge from elsewhere - the oxford dictionary of national biography has several pages on him. I did not copy it in its entirety might I add, but did borrow a large section of the positions, dates, ships, facts etc. Furthermore any information that I did use from your website, was only objective knowledge facts i.e. I did not use any of your arguments, decisions, viewpoints or intellectual property in the form of subjective conclusions and I hope you appreciate that I was merely using the knowledge to help inform other people. Once I have re-written (some time) this week, please feel free to edit. I must also add that your website is excellent, I enjoyed the history of the Hood. If you are interested in working together on any naval articles, I would be more than happy to help. Just a quick comment, could you please sign your name using tildes (at the bottom of the insert box) when you post on a talk page, as it makes replying a little easier.

Hello again. I have rewritten the article using your hood article, a biography of the First Sea Lords and from the vast entry of Field at the Oxford Dictionary of Bibliography. I found a few facts about him, not included on your site that are now in the wiki article. As for correspondence, user discussion pages are usually the best way for communicating on wikipedia. Though I will send you an email when I get round to finishing the other Sea Lords and need some input. As for signing the name, when you make an edit, there is a box of insert commands below the save page button. Below that button to the left is sign your name command ~ ~ ~ ~. This allows you to sign your name, linking your statement to your user page so that people can reply quickly, directly to you, allowing you be informed when you have new messages. Once again my apologies and hope you enjoy reading the new article. LordHarris 13:47, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your comments again. I'll try and get a copy of the book next time im at the library. I have access to University College London library and the British Library so should be able to get it from there! As for the photos, it would be great if you could include them in the article. Though wikipedia has a copyright policy on the images. If they belong to you, like I would imagine the photo of his grave, then you can licence it or put it in the public domain. Likewise if its copyright has expired, you can upload it to wikipedia. If you would like to upload the image and need help, then I can help. Alternatively I could use the one on your site, so long as you give approval for its use. I actually had a good indepth look at the Hood website and really must commend you again. It is such a diverse and extensive site! I also followed a link to the Bismarck forum and was interested in reading about that. As it happens my grandfather has in his collection, two ships glasses from the Bismarck that belonged to an officer who was transfered to another ship, before it was sunk. Ive always been interested how much they worth, do you know any contacts, through your connections with naval history, who might be interested in such an historical rarity? Anyway, when I get the book and update the rest of the first sea lord articles, ill drop you a message, regards, LordHarris 01:14, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I noticed in the recent renaming discussion that you questioned the spelling "Jackie". Could you please dig out some sources for "Jacky" as I have my doubts too. --ROGER DAVIES ^TALK 16:26, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
